"The President outlined last week that these were important
national security programs to help keep Americans safe, and give
us tools to fight the terrorist threat that we face," Boehner
told Stephanopoulos.

"The President also outlined that there are appropriate
safeguards in place to make sure that there's no snooping, if you
will, on Americans here at home. But the disclosure of this
information puts Americans at risk. It shows our adversaries what
our capabilities are. And it's a giant violation of the
law."
